Project description
A consortium of six partners has a single goal: the development and evaluation of a vaccine for the prevention of Rift Valley fever in humans. The project is named "LARISSA", acronym for Live Attenuated Rift Valley Fever Vaccine for Single Shot Application. LARISSA will manufacture and validate a vaccine for the prevention of Rift Valley fever in humans. The project encompasses vaccine manufacturing, preclinical research, and a Phase 1 study to assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a single-dose of the vaccine.
